Restraint systems, devices and methods

Abstract

Restraining systems and devices for deployment or placement over a prone or supine subject's upper torso and/or limbs. Upper torso restraining devices (20) have a shell-like shape, defining an interior region sized and shaped to receive an upper torso of a human adult subject. The upper torso restraining device is sized and shaped to pin or contain the subject relative to a supporting surface and has a sufficiently robust construction such that a user can safely place her or his weight on a breastplate surface to prevent the subject from moving. Where appropriate, the restraining device can be strapped or secured to the supporting surface. Limb restraining devices are configured to be applied about or around a joint of a subject. Restraining systems can include the upper torso restraining device and one or more of the limb restraining devices.
